Malpractice- Veterans-FTCA- 1151
A reporter here in NY is preparing a story on why the malpractice payouts regarding VA FTCA settlements have risen so much over the past few years. He was specifically interested in FTCA cases that occurred due to improper health care in New York state VAMCs. The picture is far bigger than that....... Before I give out his contact info here....has anyone here won a FTCA case against VA in NY, except for me? Has anyone here won,instead, a Section 1151 case here in NY? I only know of 2 people locally. Do we have any guest readers out there who have succeeded in any of the above, willing to join and tell us about it (or contact the reporter?) Has anyone here gone to the Fed…

Dr.Bash.John Dorle Blog radio show
I hope many caught this show, which will loop: http://community.hadit.com/#gsc.tab=0 Among many other issues ( and certainly the Candyland fiasco and the new Waiting list scandal info, and Phoenix) there is important on the show as to filing FTCA/1151 claims that everyone should know. It is all probably already here under 1151 /FTCA but always bears repeating.

Valid Complaint?
Hi Im new here. Thanks for having me. I was set up with the VAMC Apr 14. First time since I left the Army in 84 that I had any real heal care. Back problem from service still is an issue, first time out, brought to the attention of my PCP. She gave me a tube of "stuff" to rub on my back, and that's all. Fast forward, 6 months, notified her on that next visit that the back problem is still there. She didn't say anything, no physical contact, no exam nada. Next thing I know, appointment for Phys Therapy comes in the mail so off I go. PT gives me the going over, tells me that hyperextension of my back will help me. OK, Im game. First trip back, a week later…

FTCA CLAIM
After waiting 4 months I was told by the VA attorney that the peer review should be done within 2 weeks and then I should know something. Is Berta still around. Haven't been on here in about 9 years. Berta if your still around, if they deny me at the regional counsel how do I ask for a reconsideration from the Office of the General counsel? I had a successful FTCA CLAIM when my father passed away but have kinda forgot some of the ins and outs of this.

VA's Peer review
The regional office keeps saying "next" week the peer review should be done. They've said it for over 2 months. Should I be concerned with the delays?

VA Compensation Issue - What Does It Mean?
Tbird posted a record in VA Claims and Benefits Information,
Question Posed: So my appeal was closed on July 15. I haven’t received my letter yet, but under the issues tab on va.gov, where it used to say the items I was appealing, it now says “compensation issue.” Is that normally what it says just when they close the review? Has anyone seen any other terminology in that section?
Answer:
Compensation issue simply means your claim is for disability compensation as opposed to some other kind of claim Maybe an upgrade for discharge for example. Most claims that are submitted are designated compensation issues. Nothing to worry about.-

Members Create Your Blog
Tbird posted a question in VA Disability Claims Research,
Create your blog.
Sometimes you have more to say that doesn't fit a community discussion. Maybe you are passionate about fishing, cooking, reading, it's your choice. The same guidelines apply to the blogs that apply to the community. The two biggest are no politics and no religion. Facebook or someplace else is the place for that, it is not here. Creating your blog allows you to expand on what you have to say.
Do you find yourself typing the same content again and again?
Create a blog post with that content and then all you have to do is link to the blog post.
This gives you two main advantages
You only have to type the content once, a great time saver.
If your content changes due to law or regulations or for whatever reason, you only have to update your blog, and wherever you link to that post will be linking to the most current information.
Check out the video below.

Post in Imo done by telephone or via video does it have any credit
Tbird posted an answer to a question,
Further Reading from VA.gov
How do I upload evidence online to support my disability claim?
If you’ve filed a claim for disability compensation, you can continue uploading more evidence for up to one year to support your claim. Evidence may include supporting documents like medical test results, doctor’s reports, and other records. Upload your evidence online now.
If you’re waiting for a decision on your disability claim, you can upload evidence to support that claim using our claim status tool.
Upload evidence using our claim status tool
Note: For any other type of document you’d like to submit online to us, please use the QuickSubmit tool through AccessVA.
If I filed a standard disability claim, when should I upload evidence?
Upload your evidence as soon as you can.
You can continue uploading documents for up to 1 year from the date we receive your claim. But, if you don’t provide any evidence or give us the information we need to help you get evidence within 30 days, we may make a decision on your claim earlier.
If we decide your claim early, you’ll still have the rest of the 1-year period to provide more information or evidence.
What happens if I upload more evidence after I’ve submitted a fully developed claim?
We’ll remove your disability claim from the Fully Developed Claims program and process it as a standard claim.
If we decide your claim earlier than 1 year from the date we received the claim, you’ll still have the rest of the year to provide any additional information or evidence.

If HadIt.com has helped you, please consider helping HadIt.com if you can.
When the site was gifted to Rattler it became a nonprofit. A nonprofit cannot use some of the previous items I used to help finance the site.
Now it all comes out of Rattler's pocket. He will not be able to continue financing the site on his own.

Knowledgeable people who don’t have time to read all posts may skip yours if your need isn’t clear in the title. I don’t read all posts every login and will gravitate towards those I have more info on. Use paragraphs instead of one massive, rambling introduction or story.
Again – Make it easy for others to help. If your question is buried in a monster paragraph, there are fewer who will investigate to dig it out.
How To Post
Post a clear title like
‘Need help preparing PTSD claim’ or “VA med center won’t schedule my surgery” instead of ‘I have a question."
This gives members a starting point to ask clarifying questions like “Can you post the Reasons for Denial of your claim?”
Note:
Your first posts on the board may be delayed before they appear as they are reviewed. The review requirement will usually be removed by the 6th post. However, we reserve the right to keep anyone on moderator preview.
This process allows us to remove spam and other junk posts before hitting the board. We want to keep the focus on VA Claims, and this helps us do that.
